Full textAbstract:
The work transmitted to us as the fourth speech in the manuscripts of Andocides is an invective against Alcibiades on the occasion of the last ostracism to occur in Athens, the ostracism of Hyper bolus. Despite a challenging article by Raubitschek1 pointing to certain authentic-looking details in the speech, most scholars would probably now agree that [And.] 4 is neither by Andocides, nor a genuine speech delivered on the occasion of the last ostracism, but is most likely to be a product of the fourth century. But if this general feeling is correct, why and in what context was the speech written? When in the fourth century did rhetoricians spend their time composing works like [And.] 4?

Full textAbstract:
SummaryAnalysing Greek literary sources together with a selection of preserved ostraka, this article discusses the interrelationships between the prevention of hybris, the perceptions of tyranny, and the purposes of practising ostracism in fifth-century Athens. It will be proposed that the political decisions to organize ostrakophoriai were reactions to the threat posed by hybristic disposition of an individual – hence, ostracism played a role in detecting and punishing one’s motives and intentions. It will also be proposed that luxurious life-style was perceived by the Athenians both as a sign of Medism and of a hybristic disposition characteristic of a would-be-tyrant. Thus, profligate life-styles of political figures might have urged the Athenians to organise ostrakophoriai.

‘All political lives…end in failure’, as Enoch Powell said; and Themistocles son of Neocles died twice. His first life ended with his ostracism in the late 470 s, after which he was dead to an Athens enthralled by Cimon; but he would not lie down. This article considers his two afterlives: one which ended about 459 in Magnesia on the Maeander, and the other which commenced in the fifth century but continues to resonate today. The examination, however, will be in reverse order, considering first the Themistocles who at Athens was written into what Tim Whitmarsh would call ‘the archive’, then drawing inferences from that literary afterlife to comment on Athenian politics in Themistocles’ years of ostracism, then exile.

Full textAbstract:
Several features of this compact passage have puzzled scholars ever since the discovery of the Aristotelian Constitution of the Athenians a century ago. First, did the Athenian Assembly really deliberate on all these disparate matters in the chief meeting of the sixth prytany, and if so, why? Second, why did it limit complaints (probolai) against sycophants to a total of six divided equally between citizens and metics? Since the answers we give to these questions are fundamental to our understanding of basic Athenian institutions, they deserve careful consideration. This paper will argue that the Assembly did deliberate on these matters at the same meeting and indeed that this was natural, since they are all symbolic, as well as practical, instruments for controlling behaviour inimical to the demos' interests. It will also suggest that the limitation on probolai against citizen and metic sycophants was introduced to safeguard against the sort of abuse of the label ‘sycophant’ that took place under the regime of the Thirty, and that the measures described in Ath. Pol. 43.5 were, therefore, most likely linked together in the early years of the restored democracy.

Full textAbstract:
In Aeschines' dialogue Alcibiades, Socrates sees his brilliant young partner's haughty attitude towards the great Themistocles. Thereupon he gives an encomium of Themistocles, a man whose wisdom and arete, great as they were, could not save him from ostracism by his own people. This encomium has an extraordinary effect on Alcibiades: he cries and in his despair places his head upon Socrates' knee, realizing that he is nowhere near as good a man as Themistocles (Aesch., Ale. fr. 9 Dittm. = Ael. Aristid. 286.2). Aeschines later has Socrates say that he would have been foolish to think he could have helped Alcibiades by virtue of any art or knowledge, but nonetheless by some divine dispensation he has, in virtue of the eros he felt for the youth, been allowed to make him better (fr. lla, c Dittm. = Ael. Aristid., Rhet. 17).

Full textAbstract:
Vision: Director’s Cut (2017) is a short comic series about Vision, a lonely robot Avenger superhero who builds his own robotic family out of his desire for love and happiness. The story focuses on the Vision family as they struggle to lead a ‘normal’ suburban life under Vision’s tutelage. As beings of artificial intelligence (AI), they are subject to social ostracism and abuse by a neighbourhood that refuses to accept them as part of the human community. In doing so, Director’s Cut enters into the long-standing literary debate about humanness versus monstrousness, what it means to be a human, and who gets to dictate the definition. The storyline is a contemporary science-fiction rendition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), which dramatises the dangers of trying to artificially create a human life. Both texts are in agreement that once these beings are created, because they are sentient and self-aware, then they ought to be treated with dignity, respect and equality. Director’s Cut is additionally comparable to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice in exploring the act of vengeance by the traumatised outsider, and how said acts ironically prove their humanness because revenge is a motive inimitable by any other life form.

Full textAbstract:
The review study deals with the presentation of methods of acquainting pupils and students with the Shoah events at various levels of institutional education. Based on the opinions and positions of leading experts on the subject, we summarize the most important methods in the field. In the introduction we present the importance of one line of the events of World War II in the 21st century world: the defined phenomenon can be perceived as a warning against certain forms of stigmatization, ostracism or as a warning against the need to protect democratic political order. In the paper we define the terms Shoah, Holocaust, anti-Semitism and racism. We also deal with the Israeli public schools in the area of teaching about the Shoah, with the curricular anchorage of the terms Shoah and Holocaust and with the potential of Literary Education in the field of Shoah presentation. We believe that the educational system of the Jewish state can be a model in the area of implementation of the defined phenomenon for the educational systems of other countries. At the same time, we summarize the most important research surveys dealing with the teaching of the Shoah in Israel. In the area of methods are in more detail introduced “The Survivors´ Heritage”, “The Historical Approach”, “Multi-Level Approach” and “An Interdisciplinary Approach”.

Full textAbstract:
Virginia Foster Durr was born in 1903 in Birmingham, Alabama in a former planter class family, and in spite of the gradual decline in the family fortune, she was brought up as a traditional southern belle, utterly subjected to the demands of the ideology of white male supremacy that ruled the Jim Crow South. Thus, she soon learnt that in the South a black woman could not be a lady, and that as a young southern woman she was desperately in need of a husband. It was not until she had fulfilled this duty that she began to open her eyes to the reality of poverty, injustice, discrimination, sexism and racism ensuing from the set of rules she had so easily embraced until then. In Outside the Magic Circle, Durr describes the process that made her aware of the gender discrimination implicit in the patriarchal southern ideology, and how this realization eventually led her to abhor racial segregation and the ideology of white male supremacy. As a consequence, in her memoirs she presents herself as a rebel facing the social ostracism resulting from her determination to fight against gender and racial discrimination in the Jim Crow South. This article delves into Durr’s composed textual self as a rebel, and suggests the existence of a crack in it, rooted in her inability to discern the real effects of white male supremacy on the domestic realm and in her subsequent blindness to the reality behind the mammy stereotype.

Full textAbstract:
Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) foi, na sua época, uma personalidade influente, participando ativamente tanto no campo das letras como no da política. Além disso, ele foi autor de uma obra multiforme e de caráter popular, lida, em seu tempo, com grande interesse e entusiasmo. Contudo, hoje, é inquestionável o apagamento literário desse escritor no cânone português, enquadrado num lugar à sombra mesmo de escritores menores. O objetivo central deste trabalho consiste em evidenciar na trajetória literária de Manuel Pinheiro Chagas os fatos que, de forma decisiva, contribuíram para o seu desaparecimento do cânone. Será visto que nestes acontecimentos ocupa um papel central Eça de Queirós, que não só conseguiu apagar a importante participação de Chagas como político, crítico, historiador e prosador, mas reduziu a figura de seu desafeto, imortalizando-a no retrato-sátira de um patriota conservador e reacionário, sob o codinome de \"brigadeiro do tempo de D. Maria II\".Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) was, in his time, an influential personality who took active part both in the field of literature and in politics. Moreover, he was the author of a multiform work with popular characteristics, read, in his time, with much interest and enthusiasm. Nevertheless, today, the literary erasure of this writer from the Portuguese canon is unquestionable, placed somewhere under the shadow of even second-rate writers. The central aim of this work is to show in Manuel Pinheiro Chagas\'s literary trajectory those facts which, in a decisive way, made him disappear from the canon. It will be shown that in these events Eça de Queirós plays a central role. He not only managed to erase Chagas\'s important participation as a politician, a critic, a historian, and a prose writer, but reduced the figure of his foe by immortalizing it in the satire-portrait of a conservative, reactionary patriot, under the code-name of \"Brigadier from the time of D. Maria II\".

Full textAbstract:
The book The Subhedar’s Son: A Narrative of Brahmin-Christian Conversion from Nineteenth-Century Maharashtra is based on an annotated translation of the Marathi book Subhedārāchā Putra written in 1895 by Rev. Dinkar Shankar Sawarkar. This book explores the experience of Christian conversion among Brahmins from the earliest Anglican missions of the Bombay Presidency (Church Missionary Society) established in the nineteenth century. Investigating how Brahmin converts counterbalanced social and family ostracism and accusations of procolonialism by retaining upper-caste and Marathi identity, this book demonstrates how retaining multiple identities facilitated Christian participation in the early nationalist and reformist intellectual movements of Maharashtra. Further, Brahmin Christians contributed to the burgeoning vernacular literary market as authentic rationalists and modernists, who countered atheism and challenged Hindu social-religious reform as inadequate. Not only did early vernacular Christian literature contribute to the precipitation of knowledge on ‘religion’ in colonial Maharashtra, as sets of dichotomized ideas and identities, but converts also transcended these dichotomized binaries by staging ‘conversion’ as a discursive activity straddling emergent religious, ethnic, and caste differences. Discussing whether nineteenth-century Marathi upper-caste converts constituted an ethnic community, the book explores how interstitial identity between multiple and ascribed ethnicities in colonial Maharashtra produced Brahmin Christians as a political minority whose demographic strength dwindled with the independence of India. Their presence today, elicited only within the history of vernacular literature from nineteenth-century Maharashtra, reveals how converts sought to integrate themselves with both Marathi and Christian society by rearticulating Christian devotion within Indic frameworks of Bhakti.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses different social questions that were important for Brahmin conversion in the nineteenth-century Marathi mission. It begins with the racialization of religion at the mission, highlighting the question of rescued African slaves and the importance of retaining caste status among upper-caste converts. The chapter explores how caste identity among Brahmin converts in Nasik was produced from experiences of ostracism and oppression. While European missionaries oppressed native converts, Hindu Brahmins from Nasik ostracized Christians, who were disallowed from entering Nasik and lived in a Christian inhabitation called Sharanpur. The Subhedar’s Son is a perfect example of a conversion biography that simultaneously highlights Brahmin-Christian ancestry and the discrimination meted out to converts by Hindus. The book also demonstrates how writing about conversion and Christianity utilized borrowed emotions and experience from an entire vernacular literary domain that inscribed religious modernity and individual emancipation.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the latest Polish translations of verses by Rudyard Kipling and their relations with current literary, cultural and ideological discourses in Poland. Retrospective recapitulation of the manners the poetry of British Nobel Prize Laureate was interpreted and analyzed throughout its history clearly suggests at least one common pattern in critical and translational perception of Kipling’s texts. After the years at the turn of 19th and 20th Centuries, when his poetry had been marginalized by Polish publishers as supporting colonial politics of European empires, his poetical works – for the same reason – were often translated and eagerly printed during the interwar period. Ostracism for his “imperialistic” agenda after the Second World War in the communist state of People’s Republic of Poland only slightly changed after the political turn in 1989, since the translations of Kipling’s writings remained sparse and occasional due to the popularity of postcolonial studies among Polish readers and critics. Numerous of the latest translations also link Kipling’s poetry to Polish social and political context – often as a result of arbitrary changes introduced by the translators in the target texts.
